Hello Everyone! its that time of the week you call Wednesday, but we like to say ... Bump Day! Its the infamous Il Modo podcast, lets find out where our journey takes us too today...

This week is an Il Modo first, as we chalk another country off our globe trotting schedule. Our destination is famous for many unique attributes, like the Rubik Cube, particularly well known for scrambling the mind of whoever tried it. We invite you to try this mind scrambling DJ set from Hungary's newest and most talented artist. Il Modo.. get ready, for NorB! 

Music was always a strong force in Hungarian born Norbi Szakács’ life from the time he was a child. He grew up listening primarily to Trance, later Progressive Melodic & Deep House, and is now also influenced by the breakbeat culture. Norbi  always had a keen interest in how to transform one’s thoughts and innermost feelings into a musical form for others to appreciate. 

In 2021, as many of us sought out new life paths, NorB realised the opportunity to explore music production for the first time, and in doing so he discovered an immediate passion. In connecting with established Toronto-based artist & vocalist juSt b, of whom he is an avid supporter, the two came together for an exquisite collaboration in the form of a dark, brooding debut 3-track EP entitled Different Places, featuring juSt b's original vocals.  

After the release of this EP, NorB & juSt b then went on to have three new tracks featured on John Digweed's Quattro III compilation, and ended an amazing year as part of Bedrock's Best of 2022 Collection too.

Continuing this fruitful partnership with juSt b, there are new and exciting things coming soon, and in the near future, NorB's first solo EP will also be released. 

Before all that, check out this exclusive DJ set, featuring not one but two unreleased tracks, including an unnamed banger from NorB & juSt b ... enjoy!

Driven by a passion for music with depth and feeling, and underpinned by an unswerving attention to detail, this UK based artist is still performing at the top of his game.

Growing up in the musical melting pot of the 80’s and 90’s, where technological advances in sound generation created a new sonic canvas, the desire to innovate has always been strong. Influences ranging from Kraftwerk to Zappa, from Bach to Beck contribute to a unique sound that frequently defies genres.

I'm Niko, also known as Nicole Kalman, and I've been hooked on electronic music since I was a little kid. It's been a lifelong passion of mine. In 2020, I started flexing my creative muscles by editing music videos, which opened up a whole new world for me in music production and mixing.

Alongside that, I jumped headfirst into DJing and creating awesome DJ set videos. You can catch most of my mixes on SoundCloud and podcasts on YouTube.

My musical style is always evolving because I'm all about exploring different genres. Right now, I'm digging melodic house/techno, indie dance, dark disco, and progressive house. The beauty of embracing various musical styles is that it allows me to express myself and connect with others on a deeper level.

Join me on social media, and let's embark on this epic musical adventure together! We'll uncover the magic of music in all its forms.

Canadian-born, now London UK-based DJ, producer, & vocalist juSt b has a firm belief that the essence of a great artist is to endlessly entertain as well as strongly inform. One who's extremely knowledgeable, highly adaptive, & whose personal voice asserts itself in all they create. 

Headlining in the bustling centers of London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Delhi, Goa, Bangalore, Scotland, Montreal, & Toronto, at iconic venues like Fold, E1, Summerhouse, Social, House of Chapora, Igloofest, The Cause, & Steel Yard, her monthly show Undercurrents has consistent high acclaim for 7 years, coupled with accolades from industry legends Sasha & Digweed. 

With a repertoire boasting numerous top releases, including a fiery remix from Spanish icon @Henry-Saiz on his new Balance 32 Album, a 3-track EP + 3 limited edition CD & vinyl with @norb-02 on John Digweed's mighty @Bedrock_rec, a solo EP on the esteemed @Balance-series (home to luminaries like James Holden, Henry Saiz, & Max Cooper), plus a string of collabs, featuring her smooth, thought-provoking vocals on niche imprints Configurations of Self & @cinematique, and most recently on NYC/Berlin’s @weareiconyc, juSt b's recent years are testament to her growing influence.

Incredibly versatile, her seamlessly programmed diverse sets flutter between old school & new school with the utmost elegance & ease, fusing everything from raw techno to groovy house, sexy breaks to filthy acid, sassy pop reworks to classic prog, & uplifting trance to emotive melodic melters. This crossover complexion & persistent passion showcases juSt b’s bold vision with a fresh, uncompromising forward-thinking aesthetic.
